I just have to say, even though we have crap-oh-la weather here, my greenhouse is doing good(peas, thumb carrots,and green onions so far) and I have my pepper plants(hot peppers) still in the house. I started my Tomato plants 5 days ago, and they have already sprouted.( with the help of one of my aquarium lights).

I would like to be fishin, but the rivers are so muddy. As if I even have time to fish.

Hi Kashton,

I envy you having a greenhouse.

I had one at my previous home. Sold it with the place.

Certainly do miss it now! Really did not realize how much money I saved starting my own seeds vs. buying plants...

Hopefully someday I will have another.

Mine is pretty small. 6x8 only, but it works good. Framed in wood with thick poly. I used plastic trim to tack down the poly on the roof against the wood, so the wind doesn't rip it apart. We aren't allowed much more than that size in our park.

There is a 8' troff that I use for the carrots and green onion. Place for tomato plants grown in containers, and the peppers in containers. The peas are also in a container at the back with netting attached to climb.
